One reason that the US government wants to annex Greenland is for a future installment of the Dome project. The US fears that their US missile defence and deterrence are being rendered obsolete. The US recognizes that if China and Russia attack the US, they will send Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles along the shortest route - which is over the Arctic.
Although the Dome project is behind schedule and bogged down with disputes about technology, components and architecture, the US wants control of Greenland for US security. The Dome project is not a NATO project and not intended to specifically protect NATO countries.
At this time, Canada and Greenland have no reason to invest in the US Dome project because those countries are not threats to China or Russia.
"The strategic importance of the Arctic territory — under the flight paths that nuclear-armed missiles from China and Russia could take on their way to incinerating targets in the United States, and vice versa — is one of the reasons U.S. President Donald Trump has cited in his disruptive campaign to wrest control of Greenland from Denmark, alarming Greenlanders and longtime allies in Europe alike.
Trump has argued that U.S. ownership of Greenland is vital for his “Golden Dome” — a multibillion dollar missile defence system that he says will be operational before his term ends in 2029."

Here’s a closer look at Greenland’s position at a crossroads for nuclear defence.

"While Trump himself may have his own motivations, the U.S. defence establishment is genuinely worried about recent developments in Russian nuclear weapons technology, including stealthy hypersonic missiles and nuclear torpedoes that could target U.S. ports.
Fears that American missile defence and deterrence are being rendered obsolete are the impetus behind Golden Dome.
...
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles that nuclear adversaries would fire at each other — if it ever came to that — take the shortest direct route on a ballistic trajectory from their silos or launchers to targets. The shortest flight paths from China or Russia to the United States — and the other way — would take many of them over the Arctic region.
Russian Topol-M missiles fired from the Tatishchevo silo complex southeast of Moscow would fly high over Greenland ... Chinese Dong Feng-31 missiles could overfly Greenland should they be targeted at the U.S. Eastern Seaboard."

"One year after its launch, U.S. President Donald Trump’s
Golden Dome missile-defense initiative has made little visible progress, bogged down by technical disputes and concerns over space‑based components that have delayed the release of billions of dollars and stalled one of his most ambitious national security projects.
The executive order establishing Golden Dome, signed on January 27, 2025, set an aggressive timetable to field a comprehensive homeland missile-defense system by 2028. A year later, however, the program has yet to spend much of the $25 billion appropriated last summer, as officials continue to debate fundamental elements of its space‑based architecture."
